With the Oxford Dictionary honoring it as the word of the
year, Ellen's being retweeted into
infamy and Colin Powell posting his own vintage version, it's clear that the
selfie is big news. But nothing is bigger than Apple's
approval, which the selfie received this Thursday in the form
of a new section in the app store.

Apple has launched 'Sharing Selfies' for apps that specialize in
the art of taking photos of oneself. The section currently
highlights twelve apps including Snapchat, the
Justin Bieber-backed Shots and the
self-explanatory Selfie Cam.

The section joins other lists such as 'Spectacular Stories:
Games' and 'Best New Apps' on the App Store's front page. The
section contains popular apps, like Snapchat, while elevating the
image of more unknown options such as Facetune and 1 Second Everyday.
